Chapter 235
“This reaction is a bit different than usual… Shouldn’t we stop?”
Quiet Heaven knew that the rotational speed of the extractor should be constant upon reaching a certain equilibrium, so it expressed concern when it saw that the extractor seemed to be constantly increasing its rotational speed.
However, Merlin shook his head. He was focused on other things, so he couldn’t afford to answer Quiet Heaven verbally.
Ting!
In the ever-accelerating extractor, Merlin recalled what happened back when he received his Howling Archer [Occupation] title.
Merlin, Yongno’s second self, was aware of the existence of bonus stats, but Merlin had been surprised to find his stats rising as soon as he received his occupation as a Howling Archer.
It was unlike when he raised his ability and skills through training, where his stats would change based on how much he developed. When Merlin received the Howling Archer occupation title, his stat window had displayed the change first. This stat change was only reflected in his body and spiritual power later on.
Merlin knew from what he observed when he received the occupation title Howling Archer that every user’s body was made of a rare resource called Anyform Stones. With this, he deduced and realized that users who trained or meditated to increase their mana were essentially raising the quality level of their allocated Anyform Stones. On the other hand, if a user developed through the increase of stat points, it meant they were allocated a greater quantity of Anyform Stones.
‘Of course, it’s probably impossible to separate the Anyform Stones that comprise a user’s body. The main issue is that the DIO system’s protection mechanisms are considerable and that, above all, the shape is fixed.’
